Index Focus – 5 Dec - 5 December 2014

Markets are higher this morning following an extremely volatile session yesterday after the ECB disappointed with its lack of urgency given the region’s woes by delaying a decision on QE and slashing growth and inflation targets. This was followed after the close of European markets by comments in Die Welt that certain ECB members opposed President Draghi’s QE plans. Macro wise we have Eurozone GDP this morning followed by US Non-farm payrolls this afternoon.
